What he accomplished in 2012: Taylor Taliulu surprised a lot of people early by getting the first two starts of the season as a true freshman and look poised while doing so.
It seemed like he was going to have a solid freshman season, unfortunately he vanished from the starting line up and was mostly used on special teams. It was really interesting as nobody really had an answer to why he was had just vanished out of thin air practically. To recap, when he did play to start the season he showed lots of exciting potential that will improve this secondary when he’s on the field in whatever capacity it is.
What I expect in 2013: What do I expect out of him in 2013? I actually am really excited to see what he’s going to next season. It’s being reported that he’s now at 201 Ibs and summer hasn’t even started yet. That’s great news, if we can get him around 215 Ibs by Fall camp that will definitely be nice to see. I can see him make a very strong impact this season and i’m very excited to see how he is doing when Spring ball starts in a few days.
